He's a cisgender male, and though he uses masculine pronouns, he isn't made uncomfortable by the use of neutral ones. He's 5 moons old (born: some time in December, though the exact date is undecided; either a Sagittarius or a Capricorn).

﹠| Rabbitkit is, at first glance, a relatively average looking kitten. A little on the small side, skinny and unimpressive, but still typically cute. He's a creamy-coloured tabby with wide, grey-green eyes, and has a scrawny, flimsy, delicate build, possessing little muscle. As he grows, he will develop some lean sort of strength, but it won't be particularly impressive. Similarly, as he ages, the green in his eyes fades, and they darken to a solid granite-grey; his coat also lightens to a far paler shade of cream. He has comically large ears given the size of his head (hence his name), and is rather soft in the face; his nose and lips are a delicate pink, and his features remain fairly round throughout his life. He never grows to be particularly large; his small kittenish paws betray that from the beginning. Instead, he maintains a slim frame and a gentle countenance, managing to seem youthful no matter his age. He has feline cerebellar hypoplasia (CH), aka "wobbly cat syndrome". As a result, his motor skills are fairly abysmal, and balancing / walking is incredibly difficult for him.

( 001 — DETAILS ON PHYSICALITY )

﹠| Anxiety makes itself known within this child. Self-doubt takes root within his heart, and shyness manifests in his words. He spooks at everything - insects, the dark, his own shadow - and he seems to be caught perpetually in a state of unsureness.
﹠| But beneath all that is a curious, scholarly mind. Rabbitkit wants to learn, wants to be taught - he just struggles to find the words to ask for it, the confidence to grasp opportunities with his two front paws. He’s gullible, but that’s only because of his naïve hopefulness; he truly believes in the people around him, wants to put his faith in their knowledge so that he can absorb it and make it his own. He’s eager and excitable, passionate and engaging - it’s just a matter of coaxing him out of his shell, so that more of him can be seen. That in itself is difficult - despite his wavering voice and rabbiting heart, Rabbitkit is stubborn when it comes to being dragged out of his comfort zone. He doesn’t like novelty, and prefers to stick to a routine, almost meticulous in his habits.
﹠| Much of Rabbitkit’s resilience - and, ironically enough, his hesitation - comes from the fact that he suffers from feline cerebellar hypoplasia (CH). He possesses that trademark “drunken sailor” walk, and has known from a young age that he will never make it as an apprentice, much less a warrior. Isolation has, as a result, become a coping mechanism, mostly due to the actions of others - but though he’s somewhat self-conscious, he refuses to accept that his life is meant for nothing, even if the most common path is shut off from him.
﹠| Kindness comes naturally to him. Once he works out how to swallow his stutter and manage speech, he exudes an authentic, if not awkward, warmth. He sees the good in everybody, regardless of how cruel they may be, and though that can again be attributed to childish naïveté, some blossoming part of him seems absolutely determined to push people to be their best. He wants to help, and he wants others to want to help; it may seem like an idealistic desire, but he clings to it nonetheless. He’s very much the type to think that if you wish for something desperately enough, it will come true. It’s perhaps a virtue that he’s patient enough to wait a lifetime for his truths to arrive, whatever they may be.
﹠| A rookie in the art of taming his emotions, Rabbitkit wears his heart on his sleeve; he’s particularly easy to read, and though some might call it weakness, his sincerity provides him with the only genuine outbursts of confidence he’s capable of experiencing, particularly given how prone he is to triple-guessing himself. He badly wants to be cool-headed, but he is, for lack of a better word, a bit of a crybaby. Even so, remarkably, despite his jittery character, he’s weirdly unresponsive to anything that maybe ought to make him squeamish, and he doesn’t bat an eyelid when faced with blood or injury. Perhaps that can be attributed to a slow-blooming, mostly-dormant hunting instinct, but either way, Rabbitkit is remarkably steadfast in the face of gore. (He still flees from butterflies, however.) | Gryffindor. ISFJ-T: The Defender.
